(A/N: This is my first fanfic. The first section, the italicized part, I took straight from the climax of Eclipse, written by Stephenie Meyer. Umm… so yeah. That's kind of a HUGE spoiler, so don't go any further if you haven't read it. I will try my best to make this a great story, with as much trueness to the books as I can manage. Umm… what else? Please review, please please please. Umm… yeah. Hope ya like it. :D)

Disclaimer: I don't own Eclipse, Twilight, or New Moon. I find disclaimers pointless as it is common knowledge that none of us own anything on this website, but for some reason, even though it's an already established fact, we denounce our rights even though it is completely and utterly unnecessary. But I only put this incase it's some Fanfiction rule that I've failed to find.

Chapter One

"Nothing is impossible," Edward murmured, voice velvet soft as he moved another inch closer to her. "Except what you want. You'll never touch her."

She shook her head, fast and jerky, fighting his diversions, and tried to duck around him, but he was in place to block her as soon as she'd thought of the plan. Her face contorted in frustration, and then she shifted lower into her crouch, a lioness again, and stalked deliberately forward.

Victoria was no inexperienced, instinct-driven newborn. She was lethal. Even I could tell the difference between her and Riley, and I knew that Seth wouldn't have lasted so long if he'd been fighting this vampire.

Edward shifted, too, as they closed on each other, and it was lion versus lioness.

The dance increased in tempo.

It was like Alice and Jasper in the meadow, a blurred spiraling of movement, only this dance was not as perfectly choreographed. Sharp crunches and crackings reverberated off the cliff face whenever someone slipped in their formation. But they were moving too fast for me to see who was making the mistakes…

Then, as I was getting disconcertingly dizzy trying to focus on their fight, I saw something, or someone, being thrown into the air, the body zooming far away into the middle of the woods. I would've missed it had I not been concentrating so hard. There, where only seconds ago Edward and Victoria had been waging a seemingly endless war, was only one person standing. Except it was hardly a person. I saw a disfigured vampire, eyes gleaming red with hatred. Victoria.

Before I had time to respond, before I could even scream Edward's name, she was on me. The force of which she threw me to the ground knocked the breath out of me completely, and caused my head to smash violently against the rock. As soon as I was down, Victoria went in for the attack.

It happened all so quickly then, but I still could tell what was occurring. I saw a blur of red, and I felt and intense pain in my shoulder, an absolutely unbearable pain. I was sure she had intended to rip my arm right off, and then the rest of me, piece by piece, but her plan did not go as well. With Victoria's teeth still sunk into my arm, she was suddenly jerked away, jerking me with her. My breath seeming to find me again, I screamed in agony as I was thrown a few feet away, my arm bleeding and hanging limp beside me. From where I lay, crying from my arm, I could see the blurred movements of my angel and my devil, dancing again. But I was not able to watch much longer, for the fire that I knew was sure to come started consuming me. I screamed louder and in more pain than I had earlier when my arm was nearly ripped off. Now it was a scream that wished for death.

It began at my shoulder, and slowly spread outwards. Edward! I screamed in my head, hoping for once that he could hear me. Suck the venom out, Edward! Please, help me! But it was no use. Edward couldn't hear my thoughts, only my agonized screams. Seth couldn't help me either since he was battling with Riley. But what could Seth have done except kill me? I was alone, now and possibly forever. When the pain was over, and I was changed, would Edward be there? Would he survive his battle with Victoria?

I was suddenly pulled away from the panicky thoughts, as an explosion ricocheted through chest. I screamed, and screamed again. The venom had reached my heart. It was inevitable now. I was going to get what I wanted.
